Alice
Close enough to town/shops and Snowdonia. It also felt private and so incredibly peaceful. A beautiful warm, cosy converted cow shed, Iâd highly recommend the place. When we had an issue with the plumbing the owners got it sorted within a few hours. Brilliant thank very much for everything!

We enjoyed lots of walking especially along the beach and so did the dog! A good place to recharge the batteries and I would highly recommend it.

The accommodation had everything you'd need for your stay. It was also the ideal central location for the events / places we'd planed to visit. Supermarkets just a short drive into Porthmadog to stock up for the week. The narrow lane in from the main road can be tight at times if passing oncoming traffic but thankfully, it wasn't too busy. Only wish we'd planed to stay for two weeks instead of one. Would highly recommend a holiday at this cottage if planning a trip. Looking forward to our next stay. Mike, Julie & Tia (the dog).
